Whether you need a movie fix but are avoiding crowded theaters because of Taylor Swift or need a scary movie to watch while carving your Halloween pumpkin, we got you, fam.
While the holiday season – and a parade of Oscar-ready films – is about to shift into high gear, a slew of new movies have come to your favorite streaming services. Netflix, Disney+, Max, Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV+ and Peacock are rolling out stuff for spooky season and all other cinematic tastes, with A-listers like Jamie Foxx, Chris Evans and Jennifer Lawrence.
Here are 15 movies that you can stream right now:
'The Burial'
In one of the Oscar winner's best roles, Jamie Foxx dazzles in this rousing, real-life dramedy as Willie Gary, a showboat Florida attorney hired by the cash-strapped owner (Tommy Lee Jones) of a Mississippi funeral home business to take on a corporate "deathcare" behemoth.
Where to watch: Prime Video

'Cobweb'
Eight-year-old Peter (Woody Norman) is bullied at school but finds no sanctuary at home, either: Constant taps arise from inside his bedroom wall. When a strange presence begins talking to him, Peter acts out and starts to think his parents (Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr) are hiding something in this effective family horror show.
Where to watch: Hulu
'Fair Play'
A psychosexual thriller with modern sensibilities, director Chloe Domont's feature film debut casts Phoebe Dynevor and Alden Ehrenreich as Wall Street co-workers who hide their romance. After getting engaged, she gets a promotion he was hoping for and their personal and professional relationships veer off course.
Where to watch: Netflix
'Five Nights at Freddy's'
Chuck E. Cheese and his pizza-party posse were a lot freakier back in the day than the villains of this low-scare horror flick. A security guard (Josh Hutcherson) has to keep his little sister safe from the animatronic killers of an '80s family restaurant in a PG-13 video-game adaptation that's best for teens and tweens. (Gen Xers, watch Nic Cage's "Willy's Wonderland" for a better nostalgia play.)

'Flora and Son'
John Carney's latest musically satisfying, feel-good drama stars Eve Hewson (aka Bono's daughter) as an Irish single mom who makes a close connection with her Zoom guitar teacher (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and discovers a new way to bond with her rebellious teen son (Orén Kinlan).
Where to watch: Apple TV+
'Haunted Mansion'
In the intermittently spooky supernatural comedy based on the classic Disney ride, Rosario Dawson plays a single mom who moves into a creaky New Orleans manor and hires a bunch of paranormal experts – played by Owen Wilson, Tiffany Haddish and a standout LaKeith Stanfield − to deal with the ghostly squatters.
Where to watch: Disney+
'If You Were the Last'
The sweet and quirky sci-fi romantic comedy casts Zoë Chao and Anthony Mackie as a pair of astronauts who've been stuck in space for three years with the skeleton of their crewmate and an inoperable nav system. The pair wonder if they should have sex for the heck of it, and their decision results in a parade of life changes for both.
Where to watch: Peacock
'No Hard Feelings'
Needing a job, cash-strapped Maddie (Jennifer Lawrence) signs on to help a teen boy (Andrew Barth Feldman) get some "experience" with women before heading off to college. Both leads are spot on in the sex comedy, which features the Oscar-winning Lawrence in a memorable nude beach brawl.
Where to watch:Netflix
'The Nun 2'
The horror sequel – and the latest "Conjuring" spinoff – finds the returning Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) investigating a string of grisly church deaths throughout Europe. The young nun has to stop the demonic Valak from getting her terrifying hands on a holy relic in a chiller that's equal parts possession flick and "Indiana Jones" episode.
Where to watch:Max
'Old Dads'
Bill Burr directs, writes, produces and stars in the comedy as a middle-aged dad whose politically incorrect attitude gets him into trouble constantly. But he has to find some way to fit into modern society when he and his best friends (Bobby Cannavale and Bokeem Woodbine) are ousted from their business by their millennial boss.
Where to watch: Netflix
'Pain Hustlers'
Like a pharma take on "The Wolf of Wall Street," the middling drama features Emily Blunt as a Florida single mom and exotic dancer recruited by a shady drug company rep (Chris Evans) to be a saleswoman. All the money she makes, however, comes at a cost when she figures out she's part of a criminal conspiracy involving opioids.
Where to watch: Netflix
'The Pigeon Tunnel'
Oscar-winning documentarian Errol Morris ("The Fog of War") takes on a literary subject for his latest intriguing effort: bestselling spy novelist John le Carré. Or, rather, English writer David Cornwell, who started writing espionage thrillers under the famous pseudonym when he was himself a British secret agent.
Where to watch: Apple TV+
'Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken'
In the kid-friendly fish tale, awkward 16-year-old Ruby (voiced by Lana Condor) learns she's the latest in a line of sea protectors who can transform into a giant kraken. Their duty is to keep the oceans safe from villainous mermaids, and the new girl at high school (Annie Murphy) turns out to be one of these power-hungry baddies.
Where to watch:Peacock
'Slotherhouse'
In this horror-comedy throwback to old-school college slasher flicks, Lisa Ambalavanar stars as a young woman who adopts a super-cute sloth to help her become sorority president. The gambit doesn't work, her pet is thrown out and her sisters become the target of this adorably sinister (and not actually that slow) creature.
Where to watch:Hulu
'Totally Killer'
In the clever slasher-comedy spin on "Back to the Future," Kiernan Shipka plays a teenager hunted by the "Sweet Sixteen Killer," back 35 years after his first deadly spree. Thanks to a photo booth time machine, she winds up going back to 1987 and teaming with her then-teen mom to take on the villain and prevent a future tragedy.
